Just curious on peoples thoughts regarding the strength and weaknesses of tools they’ve used? Examples would be helpful if willing to share.

I prefer Ansys, Abaqus, and Simlab with a bias toward Ansys workflow due to the easy integrations via Workbench. Sure it make some assumptions that upset some people despite being able to change them and yeah… APDL commands are less than ideal but I can work notable faster in that environment than others.

What are people’s thoughts on Ansys versus say Hypermesh, Abaqus, Nastran?
